In a similar vein, ensuring that the wallpapers look good on different<br>
aspect ratios is important as well.</blockquote><div><br>Just as we have a work-flow designed to make icons look good at different sizes, perhaps we should have a mechanism that ensures different resolutions and aspect ratios are sufficiently covered. I know I've seen a list of all the different aspect ratios and screen sizes in use: such a list could be used as a starting point.<br>
